    Hurricane Nolo brings strong winds, high surf and power outages across Oahu and Maui, leaving over 16,000 Hawaiian Electric customers without power. In response, Governor Green announced approval of a pre-landfall Presidential Emergency Declaration to provide federal assistance for emergency protective measures across Hawaii counties including Oahu. Meanwhile, a fatal shooting in the Kailua Target parking lot has police seeking a suspect after a 30-year-old man was killed. Three juveniles were also arrested following a shooting in Waikīkī that caused property damage but no injuries. Additionally, a brush fire near Olowalu Village has grown to over 100 acres, prompting evacuation orders amid ongoing hurricane preparations. On a lighter note, Hawaiian Airlines volunteers have crafted a floral quilt float celebrating the Aloha Festivals' rich history in the Honolulu parade.
